Mobile vs. Desktop Gaming

Posted by michael on from the don't-hold-it-in-your-lap dept.

Mr.Tweak writes "TweakTown has just posted an article investigating Mobile vs. Desktop gaming in their latest article entitled "New Age Computer Gaming - Mobile vs. Desktop Investigation". The article compares a Dell Inspiron 8200 with ATI Mobility 9000 graphics to a standard desktop system with nVidia GeForce4 Ti4200 graphics. Can notebook gaming really be taken seriously? We think so, and so should you!"

    Now this is freedom of thought.

    ...since both the ATI Mobility 9000 and nVidia GeForce4 Ti4200 are no longer considered high end...

    Geez, since when? Last Wednesday?
    I still play with a Voodoo2. and except for Tribes2, every game I've tried has been at least reasonably playable (although it'd never win any framerate competitions).

    all nice and well having a tiny notebook on my laps but what about my sidewinder tre-force attack joystick? I am not running around with that one,people thinking I am holding the trigger to the bomb I might have strapped around me, no thank you I rather play at home.
